Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core View of the Report The copper price resumed its upward trend this week due to the impending restart of the US government, which led to a rebound in market risk appetite. Meanwhile, the spot premium remained stable, and the downstream procurement sentiment increased steadily. With macro - level positives and support from the spot market, the copper price was pushed up. The supply - side support for the copper price is weakening this year, while the demand is expected to pick up and support the copper price. From a macro perspective, after the US government restarts, the release of employment and inflation data is expected to increase the probability of an interest rate cut in December, and the US dollar is expected to weaken. Overall, it is difficult for the copper price to decline, and it is expected to continue rising with the improvement of the macro - environment and demand [10]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1. Market Review and Operation Suggestions - **Price Trend Reasons**: The resumption of the upward trend in copper prices is due to the upcoming restart of the US government, the recovery of market risk appetite, stable spot premiums, and increased downstream procurement sentiment. The support from macro factors and the spot market has pushed up copper prices. - **Supply - Side Situation**: The narrative of tight copper ore supply continues, but the supply pressure of cold materials has weakened as the refined - scrap price spread has widened. The production reduction pressure on smelters in November has eased. SMM expects a decrease of only 0.4 million tons in November and a slight increase in December, so the supply - side support for copper prices is weakening this year [10]. - **Demand - Side Outlook**: The demand that was squeezed by the sharp increase in copper prices in the early stage is gradually being released in November. There is an expectation of rush - work in the power grid sector near the end of the year. SMM expects the operating rate in the refined copper rod sector to rebound, mainly driven by the need to complete production value tasks in the wire and cable sector and the continuous growth of demand in the new energy and transformer sectors in the enameled wire field. However, the social inventory has not effectively started to decline, making the upward rhythm of copper prices unstable [10]. - **Macro - Economic Impact**: After the US government restarts, the release of employment and inflation data is expected to increase the probability of an interest rate cut in December, and the US dollar is expected to weaken. Overall, the copper price is expected to continue rising [10]. 3.2.

The first stage requires a payment of A$105 million (70% in Sandfire shares and 30% in cash) to obtain the qualification, and the second stage requires another A$105 million after the pre - feasibility study (PFS) is completed [11]. - **TasekoMines' Performance**: Vancouver copper producer TasekoMines had a revenue of C$174 million in the third quarter, an adjusted EBITDA of C$62 million, and a net profit of C$6 million. The copper production of its core asset, the Gibraltar mine, increased to 27.6 million pounds (including 895,000 pounds of cathode copper) due to the high - grade mining area.

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core View of the Report - Copper prices are expected to continue to fluctuate strongly. The potential end of the US government shutdown and the expectation of liquidity release will support copper prices, while the continuous decline of domestic social inventories will also underpin copper prices [11]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs 3.1 Market Review and Operation Suggestions - Copper prices fluctuated strongly. The expected release of liquidity from the unfreezing of the US TGA account drove an overnight rebound in risk assets. The main contract of Shanghai copper jumped to a maximum of 87,050 during the day, but the increase narrowed as the A - share market weakened. Spot copper rose 230 to 86,765, and the spot premium remained flat. The slowdown in downstream orders due to rising copper prices was offset by the decline in domestic social inventories, making it difficult for the spot premium to fall. The loss of spot imports widened to over 700, the LME 0 - 3 contango narrowed to 14.85, and the Shanghai - London ratio decreased, limiting the supply of imported goods. It is expected that domestic social inventories will continue to decline in the short term [11]. 3.2 Industry News - Japanese companies JX Advanced Metals, its partners, and Mitsubishi Materials plan to integrate Mitsubishi's copper concentrate procurement and copper product sales business into Pan Pacific Copper (PPC).
